Oct 8th 2022 I made this. I used the brown from brae, the caramel, and then espresso. Threw is a shallow white and this thing came out looking sharp as shit. Thank you.
I’ve been watching a lot of cup tutorials and I can tell you right now that this is one of my favorite cups that I’ve seen yet. If you look real close you can see faces in this cup . Great job
Excellent Tutorial ! My first attempt was a bit of a bust as I didn’t get enough movement. Overall, the effect was cool , but my white didn’t move as it should have. So, I learned that I definitely hadn’t used enough epoxy and also, don’t use quick set epoxy because it just doesn’t have enough “work time”.
This looks amazing! This is one of my favorite coffee flow looks that I have seen. It is so rich in color. I love your recovery tips on adding epoxy and what it does for the design.
the bare spots are caused by the white... it causes more surface tension then the other colors..it will happen with the metallic alcohol ink as well..the secret is to break the surface tension..with a swish by a toothpick..some people when doing countertops use a toothbrush.
Omg THANK YOU!! I have been wondering for what feels like ever now why the white alcohol ink would always cause these 'dry/bare' spots and someone finally was able to answer it for me! I cannot tell you how long I've been searching for that answer lol, thank you!!
@@ThePurpleStitch I’m new to this! Do you use the tooth pick to breakup/ separate the white lines? I haven’t done the cup yet, just trying to prevent the bare spots. Thank you 😊
I love how you show your imperfections because no one is perfect. You really inspire me! That tumbler is the bomb! I think I'll make that for my dad. Thanks for sharing!
This is the tumbler that made me want to try some tumblers. Or at least this one. Mine looks really close to this and I can't wait to drink coffee in it. Thanks
@@ThePurpleStitch I posted a video #63 on TH-cam.com/scaryhairlady and because I got the color ideas from you I mentioned your name and put it in the description as my inspiration. I just wanted to let you know. Love your videos.
This reminds me why different shades of browns are my favorite colors. This is so rich and delicious looking. It reminds me of coffee but it also reminds me of like a chocolate syrupy type of thing maybe like a melted ice cream with chocolate syrup!
I hardly ever use browns but this so so beautiful, it would be perfect on this coffee mug I have. I love it and I love watching your videos, you’re so sweet. Thank you for sharing your immense talent, you’re very good with colors.
My humble opinion that, we can use 100mm PVC plumbing pipe in 10/12 inches sizes insted of TUMBLR one side can caped with MDF board cut in round size. Spray paint it, wonderful IDEA I believe. Thanks
You do a wonderful job with your tutorials. I can hear you perfectly and there's no outside disturbances... Cups are amazing. My new favorite TH-cam station... Thank you!!!
Love your work! Love how you took time with this and showed us its ok to keep working with the products until achieved design. Thank you so much! New subbie
Thank you so much for all your videos. You have taught me a lot. I also love most of the cups I make and want to keep them but like you I don't need another. Loving this cup.
Thanks for the video! How to you avoid bumps in the epoxy? Like when I put mine on and after it dries I run my fingers down it and it feels like some areas are higher than others.
WOW WOW WOW this is insanely AWESOME 🤩 Can I please ask a question, Do I need to use food safe resin on cup’s, because I have like 6L Norglass, crystal clear resin & I really want to give this a go
It’s always recommended to use food safe products on anything that might come into contact with your mouth or food. The MSDS paperwork for that resin should tell you if it is FDA compliant as food safe. 😊
Once I get my “perfect” pattern, I stop and let it turn and dry. By morning all has ran together. Still pretty, but not what I wanted. How do I stop this from happening?
Hi! Love all your videos! Couldn't wait to try alcohol inks on a tumbler. Question, So i tried this technique and have issues.... help! I coated the cup with resin and used alcohol inks, came out great - let it cure overnight.. Applied decals, then went to add the next coat of resin and it separated badly during curing. It barely adhered to the cup? why? Same resin, same room temp. Cup was clean and covered the whole time. How can i fix it? Thanks so much if you have the time to answer or help.
It was possibly repelling anywhere that had fingerprints touched the cup while applying the decals. I sometimes put a layer of matte clear coat over just before my final coat.
Bare spots are probably what's called fish eyes. Did you use flat or gloss to prime the cup white? Flat is better. You will need to sand it and wipe it with alcohol if it's an enamel(gloss or semi gloss).
A lot of that depends on your brand of epoxy. Usually around 70° or warmer works for a lot of brands. It rarely the perfect temp in my shed, so I use a shop light to keep a steady heat while they cure.
Question..I’ve recently started doing tumblers with resin and I noticed it tends to go around the inside rim where you drink out of how do you make sure it doesn’t do that?
Make sure your turner is level and try to avoid running your finger at the rim where it might scrape epoxy off. Hope that makes sense. You can also clean that off with a blade before final coating to clean it up nicely.
@@ThePurpleStitch do you recommend doing another coating of clear after you did your first coat? Or is it ok to just leave it be if it looks and feels good all around?
Yes! Maybe put a good layer on top of the inks to make sure there aren’t any waves that might show up if that might affect the next layer. Then lay the decals and proceed like usual! 😊
A technique that another crafted started and shared where you take the arm off and drop the white at an angle. I causes a very similar result. Her name (I believe) is Aleeseeya or Alicia. How I did this is a different way but yields similar results. I hope that answered what you were asking. 🙂
My epoxy has bare spots also when I use alcohol inks. I'm convinced there's some kind of oil in the inks. It's odd. Only happens when I epoxy first then add inks. I don't understand it
You could but it might end up thick and heavy. Another thing a lot of makers do to cover up mistakes is a peek a boo method. Or hydrodip over it. USUALLY if I don’t like it, someone else LOVES it. So you can also try listing them as ready to ship cups before repurposing them.
@@ThePurpleStitch were do you sell your cups? I've watched many of your tutorials and love you, your style, your voice , so calm, but have not been able to find were you sell in the descriptions
Wow, you just got yourself another subscriber :) my inks are al by pinata. Would they be suitable for this job? Of are they too pigmented? Loving your other tutorials as well, so glad I found your channel
I’m so sorry! I don’t since I saw her version in a Facebook group a while back. The way she does hers is dropping the white with the cup in an almost vertical position. It makes a long line of white down the cup. I will do one soon using her method if you’d like. 🙂
I usually wear a mask but not when I’m trying to record. Always when using heat though. I used to use the gloves in this video (some people still do) but I prefer nitrile the last couple years. 😊
Who would have thought such a simple browns palette would give such great results lol! Very rich and elegant looking. Love the light first coat technique. Thank you for sharing! Oh, what brand tumbler turner?
I typically set my timer for 4-5 hours. I have racks that I can move it to afterwards if needed. But I do t bother with that if I don’t need the turner for a couple of days.
Amazing beautiful cup
Exquisite mashup of colors! They blended &, bled together perfectly! I absolutely this tumbler !!! I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.😊

I love how you have so much love for your cups! You take the time so make it look it’s best! Btw... Your cup is so beautiful!!
You’re so sweet! Thank you so much!!
What a gorgeous tumbler!
I found that the white alcohol inks will separate and create the bare spaces if they aren’t shaken really really well before use.
Stunning

🥰 thanks so much!
Adore how this one came out. Love the colors
I am very interested in trying this. Do you have a step by step video for mixing and spraying the tumbler?
I don’t have a video for that. I have thought about doing one but wasn’t sure if that would be something needed or not. I guess now I have my answer!
Gorgeous Outcome
Thanks for the video! How to you avoid bumps in the epoxy? Like when I put mine on and after it dries I run my fingers down it and it feels like some areas are higher than others.
Can you use a regular coffee cup
How did you manage to use a heat gum on inks? I thought it would burst into flames if I did that.
WOW WOW WOW this is insanely AWESOME 🤩
Can I please ask a question, Do I need to use food safe resin on cup’s, because I have like 6L Norglass, crystal clear resin & I really want to give this a go

Beautiful! Question: what does the heat do? Does it soften it and allow more movement or does it cure and set it?
Yes, it makes it a little runnier to get movement. Too much heat can cause a flash cure though!
Love watching your video’s, very helpful!! Thank you. And your tumblers look amazing !!
Do you add decals? If so., how do I send you what I want? Thank you, Vicki
Thanks for sharing
Can you drink out of this cup? It's beautiful!
Yes, as long as it is coated with a food safe epoxy. Some people are sensitive to all epoxy and still use straws.
Its pretty
Absolutely gorgeous!
That is beautiful.
love those colors
Absolutely love this cup!
Thank you! It sold before it was even for sale! 😆
Loved your concept it turned out amazing
Love it. Thank you for this tutorial.
☺️ I hope it is helpful!
Bonsoir comment s’appelle la machine qui fait tourner le vase
I haven’t finished watching but could you please list what you used in order please!
I soooo love this you done awesome 🥰
They were: Brea Reese brown, Tim Holtz caramel, then latte, then ginger, piñata white. I’ve updated the description, thanks for asking this!!
Bare spots are probably what's called fish eyes. Did you use flat or gloss to prime the cup white? Flat is better. You will need to sand it and wipe it with alcohol if it's an enamel(gloss or semi gloss).
Absolutely gorgeous
U did great !
This was awesome to watch. What should the room temperature that your working in be?
A lot of that depends on your brand of epoxy. Usually around 70° or warmer works for a lot of brands. It rarely the perfect temp in my shed, so I use a shop light to keep a steady heat while they cure.
@@ThePurpleStitch thank you
Beautiful!!! I gotta make one now 🤩
Love the way it came out. Do you need to sand the tumbler after you apply the alcohol inks and then add final coat of epoxy?
No, don’t sand until there’s a layer of clear over the inks so they don’t get messed up.
This is AMAZING!!!!
I love this!
gorgeous

What kind of epoxy do you use
I bet you can use green and white this same way and make a camo tumbler.
So far I haven’t been happy with any of my camo attempts. But it should work!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Was that cup painted or a sublima,tino cup prior to adding the ink?
@@ACLU-kl7tm just a regular spray painted base
Loooove this ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's Gorgeous.
This is nice
Please please answer...can a peekaboo be done with this???? I'm new new to tumbler making🙂
Yes! Maybe put a good layer on top of the inks to make sure there aren’t any waves that might show up if that might affect the next layer. Then lay the decals and proceed like usual! 😊
@@ThePurpleStitch thank you!!!
Love it! Thank you! What is the name of the other brown you ended up finding towards the end of the video? The one you intended to use.
😊 glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Tim Holtz Espresso is what I bought for this and found it afterwards. 😆
Could I use acrylic paint?
It may not cure properly if there’s very much. I know some folks use acrylic to tint epoxy but I haven’t dabbled much with that.
Beautiful!
Can I use a tumbler that is not matte finished?
Yep! I use glossy sometimes as well.
Gorgeous!!
Thank you!! 🥰
I love you tutorial. What was the name of the method you were talking about?
A technique that another crafted started and shared where you take the arm off and drop the white at an angle. I causes a very similar result. Her name (I believe) is Aleeseeya or Alicia. How I did this is a different way but yields similar results. I hope that answered what you were asking. 🙂
Will you put a layer of epoxy onthe tumbler after the inks try.
Yes. It’ll prevent the inks rubbing off onto other surfaces. I actually check with an alcohol pad if I can’t remember if a cup got the top layer. 😆
@@ThePurpleStitch thanks you help me alot. I'm trying to get started doing the tumblers. You've been very helpful.
Hey guys how much would you sell a tumbler like this for?
I love this one.
Do you add a final layer of epoxy after it turns for a while to seal in the inks or is it ready to go after it cures? The cup looks great.
Yes. I always add at least one more layer over inks. & thank you!
This freaking awesome. I just subscribed 😊
Just wondering where you purchase your tumbler blanks? Absolutely love this tumbler, by the way; thank you for the video!
Almost all come from thestainlessdepotcompany.com but you can also get them at www.FransGlitterAndMore.com and steel magnolia. 🥰
What type of apoxy do you use? This cup is beautiful by the way!
Also, the heat gun just softens the apoxy so it flows better correct?
I use Envirotex lite. The heat makes the epoxy more liquid and runny. It can also pop a lot of the bubbles. 😁
My epoxy has bare spots also when I use alcohol inks. I'm convinced there's some kind of oil in the inks. It's odd. Only happens when I epoxy first then add inks. I don't understand it
It still happens to me, but I feel like it barely happens if I make sure I don't touch the paint with my bare hands.
It's beautiful ❤
🥰 thank you!!
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!
If you don’t like the way it swirled when it’s finished could your re- spray paint it and start over without it lookin gloppy?
You could but it might end up thick and heavy. Another thing a lot of makers do to cover up mistakes is a peek a boo method. Or hydrodip over it. USUALLY if I don’t like it, someone else LOVES it. So you can also try listing them as ready to ship cups before repurposing them.

Yes, I would love to see her method. Thank you so much.
I will do my best to remember to let you know when I post one! 😊
The Purple Stitch thank you
I like it
how do you keep it out of the inside or if it goes in how do you clean it?
billie bryant I try really hard not to scrape my hand at the rim. If I do, I wipe it off right away. 🙂
No nitrile gloves? Don’t they get thin and break? Are you using a respirator, or no?
I usually wear a mask but not when I’m trying to record. Always when using heat though. I used to use the gloves in this video (some people still do) but I prefer nitrile the last couple years. 😊
Who would have thought such a simple browns palette would give such great results lol! Very rich and elegant looking. Love the light first coat technique. Thank you for sharing! Oh, what brand tumbler turner?
I believe this is the turner I made when I first started. 😊
How long did you end up letting it turn at the end to cure? Do you keep it on your turner for the entire curing process or do you transfer to a rack?
I typically set my timer for 4-5 hours. I have racks that I can move it to afterwards if needed. But I do t bother with that if I don’t need the turner for a couple of days.
I just subbed. I love your work! This one is so cool. I think I’m going to try it on a coffee mug.
Awesome! I plan on doing a mug one soon too!
That was amazing
